Writing paraphrases and summaries are important tools in academic writing.

When paraphrasing, we rewrite most of the original content in our own words, which makes the paraphrase almost as long as the original text.

A summary, on the other, hand is much shorter.

Plagiarism is a wrong usage of other people’s words or ideas.

There are two kinds of plagiarism:

1. Using information from an outside source without citing it.

2. When a paraphrase is too similar to the original (no matter even if you cite the source).
